Network adapter disappears after waking from sleep
Hi,
Using vostro 15 3568, I have this problem ever since I bought this, a few months ago.
When the computer goes to sleep it will often wake up without the ethernet network adapter, it won't show on device manager, or anywhere else, the wifi adapter still shows. Usually to solve this I have to make the computer go to sleep and wake it again, this time the adapter appears.
Tried updating the drivers, disabling green ethernet feature, didn't work. I have wake on lan and "allow the computer to turn off this device" so I can wake the computer on LAN.
Will appreciate any assistance,
Thanks.

It might work, but it will prevent me from waking the computer remotely and controlling it.
Anyway, it shouldn't be like this. The computer wakes up from sleep and the LAN adapter disappears from the list of adapters? That's strange.
